Inspired Lives

(Discontinued)

Inspired Lives is by and about
people who are living their yoga in many surprising, provocative
and inspiring ways. Drawn from the best articles and interviews
that have appeared in Ascent Magazine, this book gives inspiration
for taking your yoga off the mat and into the world. Yoga luminaries
you will find in it's pages include Georg Feuerstein,
Geeta Iyengar, Kausthub Desikachar and Arundhati Roy. The real
power of this book though is in the interviews with and stories by
lesser known people like Tenzin Palmo, who is dedicated to building
a controversial lineage of female buddhist monks, Reverend Ruth
Wright who spends her days ministering to the impoverished people
of downtown, eastside Vancouver and Marguerite McFee who is trying
to stay conscious as she faces the rigors and fears attendant on
having ovarian cancer. Each of these stories is a sharp reality
check. They equally inform, challenge and inspire like any yoga
worth doing really does.
The book has 28 of these stories in 3 sections,
Encounters with Community, Encounters with Others and Encounters with Self.
It will certainly deepen your understanding of the word yoga and broaden your
perspective on what people are really able to do off the mat.

Praise for Inspired Lives:B.K.S. Iyengar - "In Inspired Lives,
the experiences of the many distinguished contributors will stir readers
to use their bodies, minds and selves in service to others, with love and
dedication."John Friend - "Inspired Lives examines
divine qualities such as compassion, beauty, and simplicity in the midst
of real life suffering. These stories fanned the flame of my desire to be
more socially active, more present in my daily life, and to embody heart-centered
understanding."
